On overcoming

As I moved through the trials of my life, I have been asked how do you stay strong, not believe the negativity that is hurled at you and not attack those who choose to hurl it…… I simply say that in my heart I know who and what I am so those arrows just pass right on through. When I was a young woman they use to draw blood as they passed but I learned over time how to step to the side and not them penetrate my interior………. life got easier after that . I also am not attached to ego nor pride, never have been as the tragedy’s that occurred as an infant and onward in my family, only ever allowed us to focus solely on survival and overcoming. Lori
